    The West Bengal High Court disposed of the writ petition by directing Assistant Teacher Soumen Kumar Bankura to file a fresh transfer application by May 30, 2026, on grounds of distance. The court found the 2021 rejection based on "single teacher issue" was prima facie faulty and contrary to established precedent, and directed school authorities to issue a No Objection Certificate and forward it to the District Inspector by June 15, 2026, for consideration in accordance with previous court decisions.
